Michelle Pfeiffer is in fantastic shape at 55, thanks to a vegan diet and cardio workouts.
Pfeiffer, who runs four to six miles a day on the treadmill, recently switched to a vegan diet as part of a program to improve her overall health.
Pfeiffer says reading the book “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease” and seeing former president Bill Clinton gush about his vegan diet inspired her to overhaul her eating plan.
Despite playing things a little safe in a black and white sleeveless dress, Michelle was still striking.
She posed for photographs like the professional she is, with her petite frame failing to shed any light how old she really is.
Her healthy lifestyle is a clear contributor to enviable appearance and Michelle explained her decision to cut out animal products on Piers Morgan Tonight last week.
She explained: ‘I was finishing up working on, I think it was Dark Shadows and I was watching CNN, and The Last Heart Attack came on. I just felt like…there was science behind it and, you know, it was sort of irrefutable. … I couldn’t not listen to it.
‘My father died from cancer, and the older you get, there’s a lot of disease around you. And you see people struggling with chronic disease. You see people dying with terminal illnesses. And if in any way …. this is true, then you kind of have to listen to it.’
She admitted that while her health was a big factor in becoming a vegan her desire to remain good looking was a big driving factor.
‘Vanity is right under there but I have to say that it’s a close second with wanting to live long.’
